BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention is directed to a golf glove holder-dryer adaptedto be mounted to the frame of a golf cart, the holder-dryer configuredto direct air through the glove thereby holding and drying the glove.

2. Background Art

Golf gloves are widely used by golfers to facilitate gripping golf clubsexcept during putting. Unfortunately, because golf gloves are typicallymade of leather or a cloth and leather combination, a golf glove canquickly become wet from golfers perspiring hand during warm, humidweather and or from body movement. When the golf glove gripping area issaturated with perspiration, its gripping ability is markedly decreased.Therefore, golfers have devised various methods of drying their golfgloves during the course of play, including blowing into the glove,hanging the glove over the head of a club in their golf bag and tyingthe glove to the golf cart when the glove is not in use. Some golfersuse multiple gloves, switching between gloves, as the gloves become wetwith perspiration. This strategy requires the golfer to purchaseadditional gloves. Furthermore, if a golfer tosses the wet gloves intohis or her golf bag or stuff the wet gloves into his or her pockets, thewet gloves may become mildewed because of lack of air circulation. Evenif such gloves do eventually dry, the leather stiffens upon dryingcausing the gloves to be stiffening into a contorted, rolled up or outof shape condition. This is detrimental to the leather and makes theglove difficult for the golfer to get a proper grip on a golf club andmakes it harder to put on for the next round of golf. What is needed isa simple, economical device for allowing a golf glove to dry during thecourse of play during periods when the glove is not being used by thegolfer. What is also needed is a device that provides a convenient placefor a golfer to place his or her glove while not in use during around ofgolf.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a golf glove holder-dryer that isadapted to be mounted to a golf cart body frame member. The golf gloveholder is configured to direct air into a golf glove releasable affixedto the holder-dryer. As the golf cart is driven, a flow of air isdirected into an interior of the golf glove by the holder-dryer to aidin drying the glove when not in use. Even when the cart is moving,normal breezes cause air to be directed into the glove interior by theholder-dryer thereby drying the glove without movement of the cart. Thegolf glove holder-dryer includes a main body, neck and an attachmentmember affixed thereto for attachment of the holder-dryer to a golf cartbody frame member. The golf cart body frame member that the holder-dryeris attached to is typically a ¾ inch or 1 inch square tubular steelmember extending from the corners adjacent from one another verticallybetween the golf cart body and the roof portion of the golf cart body.The main body of the golf glove holder-dryer is preferably cylindricalbeak. At the second end of the main body where the neck and the mainbody meet, the cylindrical beak starts flat and extends upward andoutward with a top and a bottom portion, which is the one end of themain body. The one end of the main body is wider than the second end andthe one end of the main body is oval in shape. The golf gloveholder-dryer is configured to releasable hold a wrist portion of a golfglove along the outer circumference of the main body such that airflowing through the neck and main body is directed into the glove.Preferably, the golf glove holder-dryer releasable hold a cotton or aleather wristband that is made to stretch, typically elastic sewn alongan inward facing wrist portion of a golf glove. The main body islongitudinally facing outward 30 degrees parallel to the golf cart body.The main body is preferably a length of plastic having a outer diameterof 1¾ inch by 2¾ inch and a length of 2½ inches.

The neck is affixed in between the main body and the attachment member.The neck preferably C-shaped tubular squared plastic. The neck has anopening where air is funneled into the longitudinal C-shaped neckportion and delivered into the main body and into golf glove region. Theneck and the opening are longitudinally facing outward 30 degreesparallel to the golf cart body. The neck is 1⅛ inch in width and 2inches in length.

The attachment member is affixed to the neck and includes a clampportion for attachment to a tubular frame portion of the golf cart.Preferably the clamp portion is C-shaped in cross section with flexibleL-shaped extending arms adapted to wrap around a portion of the frame.The strength of the extending arms forces the arms against the framethereby securing the attachment member and thereby the golf gloveholder-dryer onto the golf cart frame. The clamp portion is mounted tothe frame perpendicular to the golf cart body. The attachment member ispreferably 30 degrees from the golf cart frame member and facing outwardparallel of the golf cart body. The clamp portion advantageously isfabricated of a material such as plastic or rubber and is securable toboth ¾ inch and 1 inch square cross section tubular frame members. Theseare the two sizes, which are utilized by the vast majority of golf cartmanufacturers for golf cart body frame support members. In one exemplaryembodiment, the clamp portion is oriented 30 degrees perpendicularly tothe neck and main body. This would be used where the clamp portion is tobe attached to a vertically oriented golf cart body frame member. Insuch an embodiment, a longitudinal axis of the neck and main bodyportion is oriented generally 30 degrees parallel to a path of travel ofthe golf cart, i.e., the parallel to the ground, such that, as the golfcart moves forward, air is funneled through the neck and main body andforced into the golf glove and cause it to balloon open from air flowinto the glove interior. If it were desired to mount the holder-dryeronto a horizontally oriented golf cart body, the clamp portion would beoriented 30 degrees parallel to the neck and main body. In such anembodiment, the longitudinal axis of the neck and main body portion isagain oriented generally parallel to the path of travel of the golf cartso that movement of the golf cart in a forward direction causes air tobe funneled through the neck and main body into the glove interior.These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention willbecome understood from a detailed description of an exemplary embodimentof the invention, which is described in conjunction with theaccompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First PreferredEmbodiment

Turning to the drawings FIGS. 1 a-3 b show a first embodiment of a golfglove 56 holder-dryer of the present invention. The holder-dryer isreleasable mounted to a vertical tubular frame member 60 of a body of atypical gas or electric engine golf cart. The tubular frame member 60 istypically square in cross section and generally from the corners andextends vertical between the golf cart body and roof portion of the golfcart. The tubular frame member 60 is typically ¾ inch or 1 inch in outerwidth. The golf glove holder-dryer releasable holds a golf glove 56 andas will be described below, aids in drying the glove 56 when the glove56 is not in use by a golfer. While the holder-dryer is show in FIGS.4&5 mounted to a frame member 60 of the golf cart thereby making itconvenient for a golfer driving the cart to attach and remove his or herglove 56 from the holder-dryer may be advantageously affixed to anygenerally vertically oriented frame member 60 of the golf cart body.

The golf glove holder-dryer includes a main body, a neck and anattachment member affixed thereto for attachment of the holder-dryer tothe golf cart frame member 60. The main body of the golf gloveholder-dryer is preferably cylindrical oval beak 32,34 in shape, whichincludes an upper and a lower beak 32,34. Other non-circular crosssectional shapes could alternatively be used. The main body preferably alightweight, high impact, durable material. One preferred material forthe main body is inexpensive and readily available plastic material.Typical dimensions of the main body beaks 32,34 are longitudinallyfacing outward 30 degrees parallel to the golf cart body path. The topand bottom beaks 32,34 are adjacent from one another with openings oneach side of the main body. The second end of the main body beak affixedto the one end of the neck is flat 1⅛ inch in width, the beak 32,34extends 10 degrees outwards at the same time the beaks 32,34 graduallybecome wider in a oval shape to the one end of the main body beaks32,34. The preferred length of plastic of 2½ inches and an outer ovaldiameter of 1¾ inch by 2¾ inches. With a preferred wall thickness of a ⅛of an inch. The same measurements apply for the adjacent beak 34 of themain body. A wall of the main body includes a smooth suffice on bothouter and inner sides of the beaks 32, 34. A perforated, rough oraffixed material such as sandpaper may also be used. The smooth surfaceis adapted to releasable to hold a cotton or a leather wrist band 62that is made to stretch, typically elastic sewn along an inwardzigzagging style, facing the wrist end portion of a golf glove 56, whichenables the glove 56 to be taunt against the beaks 32,34. The wristband62 is generally a soft pile material, which functions as the eye openerto the hand. The golf glove normally includes a U-shaped slit 66 or aV-shaped split 66 extending longitudinally through the wrist end 68 ofthe glove 56 and an adjustment strap 58 to make it facilitate putting onand taking off of the golf glove 56. The adjustment strap 58 is madewith a plurality of small J-shaped nylon hooks extending a base of theadjustment strap 58 material. Suitable nylon material adjacent from theJ-hooked material is a soft fussy eye material. VELCRO™ brand nylon hookand eye material (VELCRO™ Brand hook material). The glove 56 has a topand a bottom adjustment strap 58. The top being the J-hooked and thebottom being the eye material. When the J-hooked and the eye materialtouch one another it creates secure hook and eye attachment bondsecuring the glove to the main body. Via a hook and eye attachableadjustment straps 58. Advantageously, when the adjustment strap 58 isloosen to allow a golfer to remove the glove 56, the U or V-shaped slit66 in the wrist end 68 of the golf glove 56 makes it easy to attach theglove 56 to the holder-dryer. The wristband 62 affixed to the beaks32,34 grabbing the wrist end 68 and wrist band 62 of the glove 56 nearone end of the wrist end 68 positioning the end 68 of the wrist band andpushing it against the upper and lower beaks 32,34 until both ends ofthe wrist band 62 are covering the upper and lower beaks 32,34 andattaching the adjustment straps 58. Which at that point, the entirewristband 62 is affixed to the beaks 32,34 and the glove 56 is therebyfirmly secured to the main body. With the holder-dryer mounted to thegolf cart frame member 60 at a 30-degree angle makes it convenient for agolfer standing next to the cart or sitting on the golf cart seat toattach or detach a golf glove 56 to or from the holder-dryer and alsothe main body of the holder-dryer is not an obstruction or in no way inthe path of a golfer entering or exiting the seats of a golf cart.

To remove or release the glove 56 from the main body the golfer simplygrabs a hold of the golf glove 56 fingers longitudinal adjacent from thewrist end 68 and pulls the glove 56 away from the holder-dryer, Ineffect will dislodge the adjustment straps 58 creating a peeling motion.The beaks 32,34 of the main body at which will act as a peeling devicedue to the circumference and the 10 degree angle of the beaks 32,34 ineffect the friction of the pulling motion will dislodge or peel theadjustment straps 58 until the golf glove 56 detaches from the mainbody. In some cases the VELCRO™ Adjustment straps 58 have to much of abond therefore will not release, in effect the elastic in the wrist band62 of the golf glove 56 will stretch and enabling the glove to pull offthe holder-dryer.

The circumference of the beaks 32,34 is slightly greater than thecircumference of the wristband 62 to hold the glove sturdy through heavywinds and driving conditions, also to make it easier to affix andrelease the glove 56 from the main body. A typical golf glove 56 hasabout a 7.5 inch wrist band length when fully opened from the adjustmentstraps 58 and from the U-shaped or V-shaped slit 66. When the U-shapedor V-shaped slit 66 are fully closed the circumference is approximately1½ inches, while the circumference of the beaks 32,34 are as follows,the width of the second end starts at 1⅛ inch and extends to the firstend of the main body approximately 2½ inches. The beaks 32,34 does notdamage the wrist end 68, wrist band 62, or interior region of the golfglove 56 and therefore may be attached and remove from the main bodyover and over with no harm to the golf glove 56. A small centrallongitudinal opening or passage of the main body extends between thefirst end of the main body and defined by the second end of the mainbody. The longitudinal opening is defined by inner surface beaks 32,34of the main body, which opens the wrist band 62 and directs and funnelsair 70 into an interior region of the golf glove 56. The first end ofthe main body faces outward longitudinal 30 degrees of the golf cartpath; that is, it faces the direction the golf cart moves when goingforward. The air 70 funneling effect of the main body is dramatic withforward movement of the golf cart. When the golf cart is moving forward,the glove 56 balloons open as a result of air 70 rushing into the glove56 interior region. Golf gloves 56 are typically fabricated of acombination of supple leather for the fingers and palm areas whichdefine a gripping area for contacting a golf club grip and a soft cottonand or leather for the remainder of the glove 56. The leather isperforated with many small holes 64 for ventilation and facilitatingdrying. The air 70 funneled into the glove 56 interior region by theneck and main body escapes through the leather perforations and throughany cotton material thereby rapidly drying the glove 56 as the golf cartis driven forward. However, even when the golf cart is not moving,ambient wind is funneled through the neck and main body passage and aidsin drying the glove 56.

While my above description contains many specifications, these shouldnot be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, butrather as an exemplification of the first preferred embodiment thereof.Many other variations are possible. For example the dimensions of themain body may comprise of a larger size and shape. The beaks 32,34 maycomprise of being shorter or longer and the width may be wider orthinner. The circumference of the cylindrical oval shaped beak 32,34opening where air 70 is funneled to the interior region of the glove 56may comprise of a larger opening. Also the cylindrical oval shaped beaksmay comprise of a continues circle with out openings on the sides. Amotorized fan may be attached inside the air 70 funnel opening to forceair 70 into the glove 56 region for fast drying while the glove is notin use and when the golf cart is not being driven; for example, a goodopportunity would be when a golfer is putting. The golf gloveholder-dryer may also comprise of just a J-hook shaped, which would bemounted to the golf cart frame member 60 and the golf glove is attachedthrough the slit of the golf glove 56. Also advantageously the readerwill see that the golf glove holder-dryer permits any size golf glove 56to be attached; it allows left or right handed to de attached; itprovides mounting capability of the golf glove holder-dryer on eitherthe drivers side frame member or the passenger side frame member; itallows a convenient and logical place to hold a glove; it also allowsany type of color to utilized and any type of surface to be used such asrough, smooth, textured, etc.

Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined not by theembodiments illustrated, but by the appended claims and their legalequivalents. The neck FIG. 1 a-5 affixed between the main body andattachment member. The neck is preferably tubular C-shaped. The neck,preferably straight flat plastic has a ceiling 28, floor 30, a base 24and a air 70 wall 26, although round, oval shapes and other non circularor square shapes could alternatively be used. The material for neck isthe same as the main body. Typical dimensions of the neck would be1⅛-inch width by 2¼ inch in length. With a wall thickness of ⅛ of aninch. The length and width may very in size. The neck and the main bodyare 30 degrees longitudinal at the second end of the neck where the neckand the attachment member meet. The angle may vary in degrees. The neckincludes three sides, a ceiling 28, a floor 30 and an air 70 wall 26.The ceiling 28 is a flat surface and when the holder-dryer is mounted onthe adjacent side of the golf cart the ceiling 28 becomes the floor 30and vice versa of the floor 30 becoming the ceiling 28, the air 70 wall26 is the inside of the holder-dryer whether the golf glove holder-dryeris mounted on either side of the golf cart. The air 70 wall 26 has noadjacent wall 26. The opening is there to allow air 70 to funnel in theneck to the interior region of the golf glove 56. Therefore the air 70wall 26 acts as a collector of air 70. The small longitudinal opening orpassage extends between an opening defined by a second end of the neckand an opening defined by the first end of the neck. The longitudinalopening is defined by an inner surface of the neck directs and funnelsair 70 into the second end of the neck and then into the first end ofthe neck to the main body or the interior region of the glove 56. Thelongitudinal second and first ends face forward yet 30 degrees of anangle in the direction the cart moves when going forward The air 70funneling effect of the neck is dramatic with forward movement of thegolf cart. When the golf cart is moving forward, the glove balloons openas a result of the air 70 rushing into the glove 56 interior region.Advantageously, the neck allows more space between the main body and theattachment member, which gives more room for the wrist end 68. Internsfrees the glove from rubbing against the golf cart frame member, whichmay cause damage to the glove 56 and may not allow air 70 to funnel intothe interior region of the glove 56. The C-shaped neck funnels more air70 into the main body due to the opening and the 30-degree angle of theneck from the attachment member. The golf cart holder-dryer is facingaway from the hood or front cover of the golf cart. The hood or frontcover is part of the golf cart that extends from the front driver sidelocated next to the golf cart frame member 60 to the front passengerside of the golf cart frame member 60, therefore by having a 30 degreeangle the golf glove holder-dryer will not impede the hood or frontcover when attaching or detaching the golf glove holder-dryer from thegolf glove frame member 60 and attaching or detaching a golf glove 56from the golf glove holder-dryer. Also the holder-dryer may comprise ofany other type of angled shape, such as L-shaped to allow room foroperation of the golf glove holder-dryer. Advantageously, when the cartis moving forward the angle neck and main body acts as an air 70funneling system, collecting air 70 and rushing it to the interiorregion of the glove 56, also the neck of the holder-dryer is not anobstruction or in no way in the path of a golfer entering or exiting theseats of a golf cart. While my above description contains manyspecifications, these should not be construed as limitations on thescope of the invention, but rather as an exemplification of the secondpreferred embodiment thereof. Many other variations are possible. Forexample the dimensions of the neck may comprise of a larger size andshape. The ceiling 28, floor 30 and air wall 26 may comprise of beingshorter or longer and the width may be wider or thinner. Thecircumference of the air 70 funnel opening where air 70 is funneled tothe interior region of the glove 56 may comprise of a larger opening.Also the air 70 funnel opening may comprise of a circular shaped openingor any other functional shape. Accordingly, the scope of the inventionshould be determined not by the embodiments illustrated, but by theappended claims and their legal equivalents. The attachment member isaffixed to the neck and includes a clamp portion for attachment to thetubular frame member 60 of the golf cart. Preferably, the clamp portionis fabricated to a sturdy or flexible, waterproof and durable plastic.Such as the same material in which the neck and main body areconstructed out of. Durable rubber may also be used, about 1 inch inwidth and length and from vertically top to bottom approximately 1⅛ inchand is C-shaped in cross section. As can be seen in FIG. 1 a-14. Theclamp portion includes a base 24, and has a pair of extending arms 20,22extending perpendicularly from the base 24. The extending arms 20,22include 45-degree angle L-shaped tip portions 20 a, 22 a, which areperpendicular to the general extent of the extending arms 20,22 Theconfiguration of the clamp portion is such that the base 24 and theextending arms 20,22 fully contact three sides 20,22,24, of the foursides of the frame member 60 and the tip portion 20 a, 22 a, contact aportion of the fourth side to provide large surface area of contactbetween the attachment member and the frame member 60. The clamp portionis releasably affixed to the frame member 60 by the tip portions 20 a,22 a, which when applied to the frame member 60 forces an inner surfaceof the base 24 against the frame member 60 side, forces the innersurface of the extending arms 20,22 against the frame member 60 sidesand forces respective inner surface of the extending arms 20,22 tipportion 20 a, 22 a against the frame member 60 side, thereby causing africtional force clamping attachment between the clamp portion and theframe member 60. The respective outer surfaces of the extending arms20,22 and respective outer surfaces tip portions 20 a, 22 a, and thebase 24 of the attachment member wrap around securely and becomesaffixed to the frame member 60, simply by pushing the C-shape clampopening portion against the vertical frame member 60 in such that theattachment member is mounted horizontally and perpendicular to the golfcart path and the golf glove holder-dryer facing outward 30 degrees fromthe golf cart path. To release the clamping attachment simply use afinger and push or pull on the tip portions 20 a, 22 a away from theframe member 60. The tip portions 20 a, 22 a and extending arms 20,22will separate from the frame member enabling the tip portions 20 a, 22 ato clear the frame member 60 and allows the golf glove holder-dryer tobe pulled away from the frame member 60. One skilled in the art wouldappreciate that there are many alternative mechanical fasteningstructures that could be employed to secure the attachment member toframe member 60 of the golf cart. For example, the extending arms 20,22off the attachment member, may also comprise of alternative attachmentmethods, such as a strap and buckle, a spring and hook structure, aVELCRO™ J-Hook material strap or elastic strap may be affixed to theextending arm 20 and extends perpendicularly to the other extending arm22, pulled tight and pushed against the eye material strip to tightenand secure the clamp portion against the frame member 60.

While my above description contains many specifications, these shouldnot be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, butrather as an exemplification of the third preferred embodiment thereof.Many other variations are possible. For example; While the clamp portionis advantageously is fabricated of a hard sturdy or flexible materialsuch as plastic or rubber and is securable to both ¾ inch and 1 inchsquare cross section tubular frame members 60 which are utilized by mostgolf cart manufacturers for golf cart body support members, it should beunderstood that the clamp portion of the present invention could easilybe modified to be securable to frame members with circular crosssections for golf carts having such frame members by simply rounding outthe interior surface 20,22,24,20 a, 22 a, to form a generally circularcross section instead of the C-shaped cross section shown in FIG. 1a-14. Basically, the attachment member may be easily fabricated to fitany shape and any size frame members and it is the intent of thisapplication to cover all such modifications. Accordingly, the scope ofthe invention should be determined not by the embodiments illustrated,but by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
